So like your Mum! Is the health of mothers in far north Queensland reflected in the nutrition and growth of their children in early life?

婴儿的健康、营养和生长状况反映了其母亲的健康和营养状况。我们将把土著母亲的日常保健服务信息与其年幼子女的生长发育、血红蛋白和健康情况联系起来，以确定母亲怀孕期间和怀孕前影响其婴儿未来健康和发育的关键因素。这项研究将形成干预措施，以改善母亲的健康，从而改善其子女的终生健康。

The health, nutrition and growth of a baby reflect the health and nutrition status of its mother. We will link routine health service information for Indigenous mothers with information on the growth, haemoglobin and health of their young children to identify key factors in a mother’s pregnancy and before, influencing the future health and development of their babies. This study will shape interventions to improve the health of mothers, and thus improve the health of their children through life.
